During his visit to Dublin on Wednesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his host Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny discussed, among other things, Croatia's accession to the European Union, the Hungarian MTI news agency reported.
Orban was quoted as saying that he hopes that the accession talks would be completed before late June.
"This is possible if there is a political will for that," he said, asking the member states' prime ministers to support the effort, the MTI news agency reported.
Other topics of the Orban-Kenny talks were the efforts of the Irish economy to recover and the process of harmonising taxation on a European level as well as a six-piece legislation package on economic governance.
Hungary is presiding over the EU in the first half of this year.
